The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another. His mother called him “WILD THING!” and Max said “I’LL EAT YOU UP!” so he was sent to bed without eating anything. That very night in Max’s room …a forest grew and grew- and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all
around and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are…. Let the wild rumpus begin!

An adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world–a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Chicken Soup For The Girls Soul – Book Review

Hey Everybody,

I just wanted to share a review about the book Chicken Soup For The Girls Soul.  I read a lot (most!)  of the Chicken Soup Book series and I really liked them a lot.  I think this book is good for girls because it has all kinds different stories for different times and moods. It has stories about success, believing in yourself and achieving your dreams. The stories are inspirational.  There are many poems in these books and I love poetry! Some of the poems in this book actually inspired some of my own poems.  I think this one in particular is a great book for girls of all ages.  My little sister Zynnia even reads the Chicken Soup books now!  She is working on the book Chicken Soup For The Kids Soul.  These book are targeted to our age group and are full of stories by girls just like us!!!  I loved this one – but I love the entire series!  I give them FIVE STARS!!!!  ~ Zanna

This morning Mama took us to Barnes & Noble for a book signing by her friend, Mr. Frank McKinney. It was really cool because we also met Commander Blue and Chris Krimitsos of The Wealth Building Annex, a mastermind group that Mama belongs to. Mr. Frank wrote three books at one time! He wrote The Tap which is a spiritual book, he wrote Burst This, a real estate book and he wrote Dead Fred Flying Lunch Boxes and the Good Luck Circle. Mr. Frank wrote these books to raise money for The Caring House Project, which builds homes and villages in Haiti. We lived in Costa Rica for many years and we know what being very poor looks like. But the children are just like us. They want to play, to climb trees, to sing songs, to eat and have safe shelter with their moms and dads. Mr. Frank autographed our book and we can’t wait to read it. Here is a video where he tells us about a really cool contest where the winner gets to go to his house! Mr. Frank also builds awesome houses, like the ones movie stars live in! It was an exciting morning! We hope you like the video!

Good Morning!  Zynnia here. Today I woke up and began to work on really cool paper crafts. My mom got this really cool book called Little Kid Crafts for All Seasons. There are so many ideas and they are easy for kids just my size. I never knew there were so many things we could make from stuff around the house.  I love to do crafts with my mom and my sister. …
